The Chicago White Sox are back in the headlines—but not for reasons they’d prefer. As the season grinds on, the injured list is starting to look like the team’s most active roster. With more shakeups than a game of Jenga, the South Siders seem to be testing the limits of depth charts and fan patience alike. Another day, another shuffle in the ever-evolving saga of Sox survival.

One more injury, and one more player promoted. This season has been all about injuries, and all the teams are facing them. But there are some injuries that can cost a team big time. A team like the Chicago White Sox can’t afford any, but that doesn’t stop players from getting injured.

It was reported by MLB Trade Rumors X handle that the White Sox have selected the contract of infielder Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Charlotte. This comes after they placed Chase Meidroth on the 10-day IL due to inflammation in his right thumb.

The White Sox have also decided to move veteran left-handed pitcher Martín Pérez from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. Pérez started the game against the Boston Red Sox, where he pitched only for three innings before being taken off. In those three innings, he earned four runs and walked two batters.

 

He exited the game due to muscle soreness and was placed on the 15-Day IL, but over the weekend, he was moved to the 60-day IL because of left elbow inflammation. With Pérez’s rocky outing and a growing IL list, the White Sox seem to be fielding more medical updates than wins lately.

This flurry of roster moves highlights a team in patchwork mode, plugging holes with Triple-A call-ups and crossed fingers. If the trend continues, Charlotte might as well set up a direct bus route to the South Side. At this rate, the IL might just need its own clubhouse.

What’s your perspective on:

Are the White Sox cursed, or is it just bad luck with their endless injury list?

Have an interesting take?

With Bobby Dalbec called up, how will the White Sox perform with him?

The White Sox are rolling the dice with Dalbec, hoping his Triple-A hot streak translates to MLB success. As injuries pile up and the team searches for answers, Dalbec’s power bat could be the temporary jolt they need — or a fleeting glimpse of hope before it all falls apart. In a season defined by uncertainty, Dalbec might be the South Side’s latest experiment in “Why not?”

With injuries mounting, the White Sox have called in Dalbec, and for good reason. With his arrival, the depth of the White Sox infield has increased. He is primarily a first baseman but can also play third base and has some experience in the outfield, offering flexibility. He also provides a much-needed boost with the bat, as his Triple-A numbers show.

While his struggles in the majors since 2022 are a concern, Dalbec’s power potential could still make him a trade chip if the Sox look to bolster their roster later in the season. This stint with the White Sox could boost his market value and open new opportunities. A strong performance benefits both Dalbec’s career and the team, giving them trade flexibility.

Dalbec’s call-up is a swing for the fences by the White Sox. But whether he’ll be a game-changer or another temporary fix remains to be seen. His power potential is undeniable, but with the Sox’s injury-plagued roster, he’s more a question mark than a savior. If he hits, he might be a valuable trade asset. If he doesn’t, well, the team’s experiments might just keep rolling.
